Oasis at Ballycastle by AvantStay | Private Beach

We are pleased to offer Oasis at Ballycastle as a vacation rental. We are confident that you won't find a better place to enjoy the charm, mysticism, and natural delights of Lake Norman! Upon arrival at Oasis, you are greeted with a gorgeous custom front door with extensive glasswork. Once inside, the open concept lets you notice the new, gray hardwood floors in the living, dining, and kitchen areas and professionally decorated house.

Let's take a tour of your retreat:

The chef's kitchen has a new island with seating for four and new appliances, including a gas stove. The eat-in dining area has seating for 6 with great pool and lake views! The kitchen is stocked for you to whip up a quick meal or snack and entertain while hosting a family dinner!

Steps away from the kitchen is the open-concept living room with large windows for amazing views of the pool, dock, and newly installed beach. Sit down and enjoy the comfy new couches while watching games and movies on the large 72" TV. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining area with a large table and seating for 10!

The main level also hosts three bedrooms, two full baths, a half bath, and a laundry room. The primary bedroom with a king bed has a newly configured en suite bath with a large, tiled, walk-in shower featuring a rain shower head and separate sauna. Turn up the heat for some invigorating time alone in the sauna!

The remaining two bedrooms share a hall bath and have a queen and king beds, respectively.

An additional upper level has been built for a spacious open room featuring 3 queen beds, a seating area, and a full bath. This will be a coveted spot for teens and young adults to have their own space...first come, first serve!

The lower level is perfect for entertaining. Complete with a full kitchen, all new appliances, and a small desk space to check emails on your way out to the dock and pool area. Enjoy the sitting area with a couch, two comfy chairs, and a huge 72" TV for the kids to enjoy Netflix or play on the gaming console. Additionally, the lower level boasts two bedrooms and a full and half bath. There is a queen bedroom and bunk room with two twin-over-full bunk beds for all the kids to camp out!

The garage has recently been converted to a new game room featuring a ping pong table, a love seat, and a full-size refrigerator.

Outside is what makes this Oasis stand out! The options are limitless, and there is no reason to fight over seating as there is plenty to go around. The new 3' pavers lead guests from the house to the multiple options in the backyard.

First stop, the newly installed 15' beach awaits you on the water's edge. Past the beach and its decisions, decisions, decisions. Do we go to the pool, hot tub, kitchen, and seating area or to the dock for some lakeside fun?

If you pass the pool, head to the full outdoor kitchen to complete a meal with a grill, stove, fridge, and dishwasher! Do not worry about getting too hot, as a large industrial-size fan keeps everyone cool. Or, you can turn on the screen porch fireplace, as you sit and watch the sunset on the large sectional and loungers. The kitchen area is a great place to challenge your guests to corn hole or life-size Connect Four games! Big game on? No problem, overlooking the lake is a large TV! A half bath in the kitchen area for guests convenience!

Let's remember, Oasis is a lake house. So, let's head on down to the large, multi-level dock! Conveniently located on the dock are all of the fun lake toys, including a kayak, a paddle board, and an assortment of life jackets. The dock-installed catamaran netting is perfect for all to enjoy laying out lakeside or even a quick nap!

Leaving Oasis will be the biggest struggle of your retreat!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

Whether you're here for a laid-back escape or outdoor adventures, you'll have dozens of options to keep you relaxed and entertained.

Lovely oasis
Our stay was very nice… Lots of room for everyone and very spacious. The view was amazing… we rented a tritoon boat that was brought to our dock. The pool and jacuzzi were put to good use. The outside kitchen area was well equipped and we enjoyed a fire pit down by the lake. The Weber grill igniter was not working properly but we lit it ourselves.We couldn’t get in the front door at first but were able to get help immediately due to the wrong code that was given to us. The outdoor screen porch area was lovely with the fireplace but needed to be cleaned under the couch. Overall our stay and the communication with the property management company was great. One observation…for larger parties a larger couch in the main TV area would be nice. Thank you for helping to make our family weekend a memorable experience.

Best trip!!
We had the best time at this property for my husband’s 40th birthday! We had a total of 4 families (adults and small children) staying and we all had room to spread out and had plenty to do. We loved the pool and dock as well as the outdoor kitchen and big screened-in porch with comfy furniture and TV. Everything was just like the pictures but somehow even better when you’re in the space. It really is a large property with a lot of lake frontage and great amenities. There were lots of supplies (bath towels, beach towels, plates, good selection of spices, lots of different kitchen equipment and storage containers, etc.). The management company was also very responsive when we had questions. If you can splurge, I’d highly recommend renting a boat during your stay. Lake Effects dropped off and picked up a pontoon boat and having that was really the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!!

What a fabulous vacation home!
This property was perfect for our large family. Plenty of room to spread out. We loved the pool, the outdoor kitchen, the screened in porch, the location on the lake. The kids were able to fish off the dock and kayak and paddleboard. Nice sized pool. We have already booked for next year!

Beautiful property for fun family time
This home was wonderful. We had a party of 10 and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house is very well kept and feels very cozy. Pool, hot tub and grill were great. We rented a pontoon boat which was dropped off to the dock. The lake itself is pristine and within distance to multiple restaurants by boat. Overall we had a great experience at this property. Our only suggestion is to have some sort of hand rail from the driveway down to the dock, as it was steep for our older family members.

Would have been amazing
We booked this trip for extended family to meet from across the country to celebrate my in-laws' 50th anniversary. The property itself is beautiful and the outdoor spaces are just as impressive as pictured. We spent much of our time in the pool, paddleboarding, kayaking, and relaxing in the outdoor lounge areas. There were small amenities like extra sunscreen, games, pickleball paddles, and kitchen items that were thoughtful and helpful during the week. I would suggest getting some window treatments for the upstairs loft and downstairs bunkroom, as we had kids in both of those rooms and the light came through very early with no blinds or curtains. Truly, our only issues during the week were with the property management company. While quick to respond, our property manager was not particularly helpful in fixing items that we mentioned during the week. We had some housekeeping items that were not addressed and were told "Oh, that fan is too ornate to clean properly and the spider webs on the porch are the exterminator's problem." Six of our guests were missing bath towels the first night and we had to personally handle the receipt of a new refrigerator delivery because the downstairs one was broken when we arrived. While each small on its own, the combination of these issues complicated our relaxing vacation week. As a side note, we had a boat and jet ski rental delivered from Lake Effects during the week and it was a seamless and efficient process. Highly recommend.

Wonderful vacation home, especially for a large group!
My entire family had the privilege of staying in this beautiful home for almost a week. 12 of us celebrated Thanksgiving there together. Even though it was cold, we enjoyed the outdoor hot tub every day, and a few of us used the kayaks and paddle board. The house was beautiful, comfortable, we had plenty of room to spread out in the house and on the property, everyone had their own bed and space, no one felt crammed ever. The drive out to the property is beautiful, the neighborhood is nice, quiet and felt very safe. We saw deer walking through the neighborhood daily and took several walks. The house was very well stocked with kitchen supplies, laundry supplies, toiletries, and even tons of lake and pool toys. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home to others!!

Love Lake Norman
Lake Norman is absolutely amazing!! And to be able to rent this beautiful house in a quiet cove was unbelievable! This house had plenty of room for our group of 10 with 5 beds to spare. Bedding was comfortable & clean, bathrooms were plentiful which meant no waiting, kitchen was spacious but lacked pots & pans (which were brought over by the management company & more arrived from the owner), the loft area was perfect for the teen girls to hang out in & the boys loved the Foosball table & large TV in the basement. The outside areas just complimented the house...from the pool to the outside kitchen to the outside TV which movies were watched almost every night to the amazing sunsets!! Would definitely rent a boat especially in the summer months because that heat can be killer. We all had an amazing trip to Lake Norman & a great stay & Oasis at Ballycastle!! We all highly recommend this place!

Better than we imagined!
Our family stayed at this beautiful property and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. It was even better than it looks in the pictures. We brought our own boat and parked it at the dock at the house which was very convenient! The pool was great too. We fished and tubed on the lake, escaped an escape room, and found some gems at Emerald Hollow Gem Mine. Overall, our family has decided that we like the lake vacation better than the beach!!
